	<h2>Dynamic Recoloring</h2>
	
	<h4>Brief Description:</h4>
	<p>
		With dynamic recoloring enabled, only zip codes within the current viewing area
		are used in calculating color values.
	</p>

	<h4>Detailed Description:</h4>
	
	<p>
	For the purposes of this section, a score refers to the number associated
	with a zipcode when you choose a metric. If the "Average GPA" metric is chosen,
	then each zipcode has a score between 0 and 4.0, indicating the average GPA
	of students within that zipcode.
	</p>
	<p>
	Dynamic recoloring is used to more easily discern small differences between
	zip code "scores".
	</p>
	<p>
	As may be expected, scores vary greatly regardless of your chosen metric.
	While it may be easy to tell the difference between high scores and low
	scores using our map, similar scores will have almost identical colors.
	</p>
	<p>
	When Dynamic Coloring is enabled, the map will only look at the zip codes
	currently on screen. The zipcode with the lowest score on screen becomes
	the new minimum, and the zipcode with the highest score on screen becomes
	the new maximum. The zipcodes on screen are then recolored with the new
	minimum and maximum.
	</p>
	<p>
	This way, if all zipcodes that you can see have similar colors, you can
	activate Dynamic Coloring to make the currently rendered zip codes
	use the entire available color scale from light purple to dark purple.
